DICE on BF3 ps3 version: RSX + SPU raises the graphics bar!

gpuking · 2011-03-08 09:33:29

http://www.slideshare.net/DICEStudio/spubased-deferred-shading-in-battlefield-3-for-playstation-3DICE is treating the ps3 like a true first class citizen with their BF3, unlike a certain other dev 'cough Crytek cough'. Just read through their presentation on SPU-Based Deferred Shading, you can see how effectively they're using the spus to offload the work from RSX, I think they're utilising the SPUs more effectively than even some Sony first parties. The 360 version is still not up to scratch yet though as DICE is currently giving the lead to PS3.

[QUOTE="bryn8150"][QUOTE="omho88"] I dun understand how this is connected to the title ?!!! they are saying the PS3 is capable of more when its archeticture is used effectively. On topic: Great that developers are getting used to it, bad PS3 ports are almost extinct + Great exclusives = bad days for X360 :D .incuensuocha

its purportedly been bad days for the 360 since the PS3 launch. how'd that work out so far? i think its time for Sony fans to abandon that ship, don't you think?

Abandon ship? What ship? What is there to abandon and why?

He is implying that the Sony fans should abandon the idea that the 360 is going to be destroyed by the PS3. For years Sony fans have been saying "X" will be the end of the 360 yet it still lives. It is far too late for the PS3 to have any real effect on the 360.

It's a shame this game is going to be a shadow of the next cod

After Black Ops I'm hoping the sales will decrease for the next COD.

The problem is that The RSX (gimped Geforce 7) is still doing 95% of the graphics workload. 04dcarraher

The lighting pass for a standard deferred renderer (what they're using) with the amount of lights they're pushing is going to at least 25% of a GPU's frame time, and possibly more on RSX.
